First sonnet in quite awhile. It’s one of my better ones I think.

I haven’t written sonnets in awhile.
I just stepped out to see if I could breathe.
I stopped but I ain’t really changed my style.
The poetry abides and dwells in me.
If you could feel it too, well then you’d get it.
It happens to me several times a day.
And I’ve no shame so I’ll freely admit it.
I always know exactly what to say.
But you can do this too. There is a blueprint.
For nothing done hath not been done before.
And you can walk in Egdar Allan’s shoe print.
Just copy Poe and write your “Nevermores.”
I can’t believe I wrote this by myself.
Are we sure it weren’t anybody else?
